"Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart is the first book to pull together the central features of the American society, character, and history of the global era and its immediate aftermath into a single, powerful, comprehensive, and coherent picture. Seamlessly interdisciplinary, it looks at all facets of recent American society and history as reflecting first the global liberal paradigm that reigned from 1965 until 2016, and then the incipient paradigms that have competed during the years of crisis since. It is the first book to pull together the central features of American society, character, and history since 1965 into a single comprehensive and coherent picture that dissents from key aspects of the long-dominant paradigm. Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart describes and extensively analyzes the gamers, the fascinating new upper class that has risen to dominance in this country as in most others during the last half century. It also analyzes the character and circumstances of the middle class, working class, and underclass, laying bare the profound, many-sided conflict between the gamers and the middle and working classes. It also examines the group salience of multiculturalism that was the tacit domestic consensus for 51 years, until Donald Trump and his movement overturned it in 2016. Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart (GMGCA) goes to the essence of how this society could present us with the shocking political events of the last two years. You will find in it a lively, powerful, and utterly original treatment of contemporary American society, character, and history. At a time in which the foundations of this nation, the West, and the world are again in question as they have not been since the late 1960s and early 1970s-when the stakes could not be higher-this ambitious book carefully examines the most profound paradigm questions. Although predominantly dissenting, GMGCA seeks proportion and balance. Not a single other high-quality, comprehensive conservative analysis of this society and its recent history exists"--
